2/10

This was terrible. I couldn't figure out the point the entire time I was listening. I didn't like the music, I didn't particularly care for her voice, and I thought the translations seemed to be clunky. I even tried a few of the songs in German to see if they were better, and I didn't think they were. Just not for me at any level.

Hmm....

I went to YouTube to listen to this. When it started, I liked the weirdness and the energy. By the end, I was very over it. I’m glad I listened to it, though, because I had never heard of it before.

4/10

Well it's certainly interesting. Definitely out of my comfort zone. Her voice is really powerful. The instrumentation feels a bit empty and flat but works for accentuating her vocals.

4/10

This is such an 80s endeavour. Interesting, but not entirely listenable. Feels like it might have influenced Bjork in places.

4/10

Would much rather have any of three other albums in place of this on the list: Henry Cow's "In Praise of Learning," Art Bears' "The World As It Is Today," or Slapp Happy's "Sort Of" - all of which feature Dagmar Krause on vocals. I mean, go ahead and listen to "Tank Battles," as it is your solemn duty on this 1001 journey - but if you want to hear something that you might actually enjoy, or at least find more interesting, listen to these other records (all available on Spotify to boot). And, while we're talking about German female vocalists, do yourself a favor and listen to Renate Knaup from Amon Duul II.

2/10

As musical I would listen for enjoyment...straight 1/5 and absolutely terrible. As a historic artifact that offers an interesting view into the mindset of a Soviet republic I found it fascinating.
